CLEANING, OILING, OR POLISHING COMPOUND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 758,944, dated May 3, 1904.

Application filed February 12, 1904. Serial No. 193,324. (No specimens.)

To (/f/ 'Ilfitrmt it Duty concern:

Be it known that 'I, \VILLIAM BUZBY TYLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Camden, in the county of Camden and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Cleaning, Oiling, or Polishing Compound, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention relates to a novel cleaning, oiling, and polishing compound adapted for cleaning, oiling, and polishing surfaces in general, but particularly useful for the polishing of woodwork, metals, and glass and for finishing and intensifying pictures.

The compound consists of headlight-oil, lard, hard-oil finish, and strong petroleumsoapsuds in equal parts and a small quantity of diluted photograph-paste. Headlight-oil, hard-oil finish, and photograph-paste are substances now on the market under these names. Headlight-oil is a heavy illuminating fluid consisting mainly or wholly of the heavier petroleum distillates and is that oil commonly used in the headlights of locomotives. Hardoil finish is a solution of hard gums or resins ordinarily employed as a varnish. Photograph-paste is a white dextrinous or starchy paste ordinarily used in the mounting of photographs.

For ordinary cleaning, oiling, or polishing the compound is applied in the usual manner with a soft cloth, and when employed for the finishing of pictures is allowed to dry before polishing.

While the material specified in the proportions stated are believed at this time to give the best results, .1 reserve the right to vary the proportions as may be desirable in connection with different kinds of work.

\Vhat I claim is A compound of the character described consisting of headlight-oil, lard, hard-oil finish, petroleum-soapsuds, and photograph-paste.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own 1 have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

\YILLIAM BUZBY TYLER.
